How To Write Guitar Solos That Sound Amazing

Have you ever tried to make your own guitar solos, but it just doesn’t sound as good as you’d like? This is often a problem that comes from not trying to get the most out of every single note you play. In many cases, guitar players will write guitar solos by emphasizing their technical playing skills with a lot of fast notes. Although this aspect of guitar playing is cool, when this happens the guitarist usually ends up with a bunch of fast licks…but a mediocre guitar solo.

So why is this? In the process of playing faster passages during guitar solos, guitarists pay less attention to each individual note. This causes them to ‘waste notes’. To make your own guitar solos sound amazing, you must learn to make every note sound great. Compare your guitar playing to a singer’s singing. Think of how many ‘wasted notes’ the singer uses...none! This is how you must approach your guitar solos! Learn more on this page about how to write a great guitar solo.
